  • Being rich and famous is the dream of just about any kid that wants to become a “rock star”, but generally it’s the guitarists and singers who get the bulk of the money right? What about the richest bass players in the world? Are they truly rich or barely getting by?

      Sadly, Greg Lake was it really worth very much money after Emerson Lake and Palmer called it a day. They had a couple of disastrous problems on their last tour that cost millions. And that was in the seventies so it was probably like 10 million dollars today. Keith Emerson was kind of Indiscreet about it but he did say several years ago that he wanted a reunion because they could all use the money, especially him and greg.

    furthermore I know there are couple of sites about this net worth of celebrities but how do they get these information? are these clickbait sites are directly linked to the tax authorities?
    In my humble opinion these lists are basically have nothing to do with the reality

      None whatsoever. I read Noel Reddings book. With Hendrix, he never made any money other what he was given by management to live on.
      He spent the whole rest of his life trying to unravel where the money eent, who owned what music, and who owned the rights to the music.
      The Hendrix Experience was a perfect example of how management screwed acts, and bought and sold other people intellectual property and the legal paper trail just thinned and vanished in the wind.

      Because most people in Scotland would call themselves Scottish not British but if you come from London or Northern Ireland generally you call yourself British but if you come from the rest of England you are English, Scotland you are Scottish and Wales you are Welsh. Also Catholics from Northern Ireland would never call themselves British either. You would call yourself British if you were from Channel Islands or Gibraltar though or the Falkland Islands or other dependencies. Usually people from the commonwealth or a dependency like India or NZL would consider themselves more British ie Anglo- Indian than a Scotsman.
